Shure ULX-D2 Overview

The Shure ULXD2/SM87 is a digital handheld wireless microphone transmitter compatible with ULX-D receivers. It comes equipped with the SM87A supercardioid condenser capsule designed to withstand extreme sound pressure levels, while still delivering a remarkably smooth frequency response for vocal performers and presenters.
